Connect2Education
Our Ethos
At Connect 2 Education we place safeguarding at the heart of all we do, creating a calm, secure and nurturing environment where children feel safe, valued and ready to learn.
We believe every child should be able to access school wherever possible. As a specialist provider of non‑school alternative provision (non‑school AP), we work as an integrative, trusted partner with schools and local authorities to deliver tailored, flexible education
pathways. We offer an interim solution and a safe space where learners can re‑engage with education and build confidence.
With clear, time‑bound plans and transparent oversight,we support children’s engagement, progress and successful transition back into school or onward destinations.
Through inclusive, innovative provision—offered in‑centre, online or via outreach—we remove barriers to learning and empower each child to choose the next step with clarity.
We operate within robust quality assurance frameworks, collaborating with commissioners,schools and families to ensure accountability, effectiveness and positive outcomes.
Our purpose is simple: To provide a safe, inclusive and forward‑thinking education environment where every learner can thrive, re‑engage and progress.
